Cheers!!

Soccer is a recreational sport here.
The sport is managed by old has beens who never played top class soccer anywhere.
But if you're any good you'll soon find that out.

Well where in canada are you basing your experience on and to what expectation level are you comparing?
Hackney marshes sunday leagues or EPL. Most soccer is sunday league standard, if you above that then you'll be looking to play semi-pro-level some indoor leagues and larger cities have some but its then A-league pro.
It's ok just checked you only other post Vancouver - whitecap fan no wonder bitter.

I forgot all about the great talent in Canada. That's why Canada has such a brilliant national team.
They are going to wear their shirts back to front next season so it looks like they are attacking.
BTW Who did you ever play for?
Gotta get back to the tele.

Why are you so fascinated with "Who I played for"? Don't see the relevance.
Remember Canadian talent is that crap England's no 1 world cup player is one.
